Ghar Kab Aaoge

Border 2’s Ghar Kab Aaoge Lyrics Translation in English
The song closely examines the meaning behind the Sandese Aate Hai lyrics, which depict the painful waiting of families at home. The verses reflect the struggle between a soldier’s duty and his personal life. The line “Likho Kab Aaoge,” meaning “Write and tell us when you’ll come,” sums up the feeling of missing someone. Javed Akhtar and Manoj Muntashir Shukla create a story in which even an empty house seems to call for the soldier’s return.
Sandese Aate Hain Humein Tadpaate HainMessages arrive, tormenting us.
Jo Chitthi Aati Hai Woh Poochhe Jaati HaiEvery letter asks the same question.
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab AaogeWhen will you come home? When will you come home?
Likho Kab AaogePlease write and let us know when you’ll come.
Ki Tum Bin Ye Ghar Soona Soona HaiThe house feels empty without you here.
Ye Dil Jo Barson Se Tha Khaali Khaali SaThis heart, which had been empty for years,
Kisi Ke Aane Se Sajaa Diwali Salit up like Diwali with someone’s arrival.
Jaage Hain Darwaaze Kisi Ki Aahat SeThe doors have awakened at the sound of footsteps.
Savera Hota Kisi Ki Karwat SeSomeone’s day starts just by turning in bed.
Main Sochta Karta Hoon Yahi Tanhaayi MeinI sit alone and keep thinking about this,
Ke Chanda Utrega Meri Angnaai Meinthat the moon itself will descend into my courtyard.
Naseebon Waali Ne Kaan Ki Baali NeThe fortunate one, her earring,
Chauth Ki Thaali Nethe ceremonial plate,
Aur Poochha Hai Mehndi Ki Laali Neand the redness of her henna have all asked.
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab AaogeWhen will you come home? When will you come home?
Likho Kab AaogeWrite and tell us when you’ll come.
Ki Tum Bin Ye Dil Soona Soona HaiMy heart feels empty without you.
Sandese Aate Hain Humein Tadpaate HainMessages arrive, and they torment us.
Ke Chitthi Aati Hai Poochhe Jaati HaiThe letter that comes asks the same thing.
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab AaogeWhen will you come home? When will you come home?
Likho Kab AaogeWrite and tell us when you’ll come.
Ki Tum Bin Ye Ghar Soona Soona HaiThe house feels empty without you here.
Ye Poochho Aankhon Ke Chhalakte Paani SeAsk the tears that spill from these eyes,
Bichhadta Hai Koi Kahan Aasaani SeIt’s never easy to part from someone.
Main Peechhe Chhod Aaya Duaein Karti MaaI left my mother behind, praying for me,
Ke Usse Bhi Pyaari Mujhe Ye Dharti Maabecause this Mother Earth is even dearer to me.
Kisi Ne Dheere Se Kaha Tha Laut AanaSomeone had whispered softly to come back,
Main Raasta Dekhungi Mujhe Na Tadpaanasaying she’d watch the road, asking me not to torment her.
Jaagti Raaton Ne Ankahi Baaton Ne Adhoore Waadon NeThe sleepless nights, the unspoken words, the unfulfilled promises,
Aur Poochha Hai Uski Yaadon Neand her memories have all asked.
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab AaogeWhen will you come home? When will you come home?
Likho Kab AaogeWrite and tell us when you’ll come.
Ki Tum Bin Ye Dil Soona Soona HaiBecause without you, this heart feels so empty.
Badi Yaad Aati Hai Kisi Ki Raaton MeinI miss someone terribly at night.
Kalayi Resham Si Abhi Hai Haathon MeinHer silky wrist still feels like it’s in my hands.
Shayari Jaisi Woh Labon Pe Rehti HaiHer name stays on my lips like a poem.
Mohabbat Jaisi Woh Ragon Mein Behti HaiShe runs through my veins like love itself.
Jo Gudiyon Se Khele Woh Gudiya Yaad AayeinI remember the little girl who used to play with dolls.
Ke Baaton Baaton Mein Usi Ki Baat AayeIn every conversation, her name comes up.
Mere Dildaaron Ne Gali Bazaaron NeMy dear friends, the streets and markets,
Ke Chitthi Taaron Ne Aur Poochha Hai Mere Yaaron Nethe letters, the telegrams, and my companions have all asked,
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab AaogeWhen will you come home? When will you come home?
Likho Kab AaogeWrite and tell us when you’ll come.
Ki Tum Bin Ye Dil Soona Soona HaiBecause without you, this heart feels so empty.
Ae Guzarne Waali Hawa BataOh passing wind, tell me,
Mera Itna Kaam Karegi Kyawill you do me a small favor?
Mujhe Chhod Ke Jo Chala GayaThe one who left me and went away,
Use Dhoondh Laplease go and find him.
Koi Rehguzar Ya Koi GaliI haven’t found a single path or street
Mujhe Aaj Tak Toh Nahin Milito this day
Jo Mita Sake Ye Faaslathat could erase this distance.
Jo Mita Sake Ye FaaslaThat could erase this distance.
Meri Saari Jawaani Le GayaHe took my entire youth with him
Aur Aankh Mein Paani De Gayaand left only tears in my eyes.
Jise Dohraunga Umr BharHe gave me a story
Woh Aisi Kahaani De Gayathat I’ll repeat for the rest of my life.
Ae Guzarne Waali Hawa TujheOh, passing wind, I swear to you,
Hai Kasam Na Rula Aise MujheDon’t make me cry like this.
Main Kahan Se Laaun Woh Dil BataTell me, where can I find a heart
Jise Ho Qubool Ye Alvidathat could ever accept this goodbye?
Main Waapas Aaunga Main Waapas AaungaI will come back. I will come back.
Phir Apne Gaon Mein Pyaar Ki Chhaon MeinTo my village again, in the shade of love.
Tarasti Aankhon Se Kisi Ki Baahon SeTo those longing eyes, to those arms.
Ke Ghar Ki Raahon SeFrom the roads leading home,
Kiya Jo Waada Tha Woh NibhaungaI will keep the promise I made.
Main Waapas Aaunga Main Waapas AaungaI will come back. I will come back.
Main Waapas Aaunga Main Waapas AaungaI will come back. I will come back.
